Title - Dreams
Teacher:- Pastor Paul Orimolusi
God has several means of communicating with us. It could be through his word, visions, dreams etc.
Today, we would discuss dreams
Outline 1:
- What does the term 'Dream' mean?
Outline 2:
- Sources of Dreams
Outline 3:
- Operations of Dreams/ How Dreams Work
Outline 4:
- The Involvment of Jesus in all our dreams
What does the term 'Dream' mean?
- It is something both children and adults experience during our sleep
- It could also be your aspirations in life (i.e. what you yearn to become)
Sources of Dreams
1) Could come from multiple activities Ecc 5:3 &7
The Implications of this source
- It is not a reliable source
- The devil could manipulate your thoughts to his advantage (Flesh is magnified)
2) It could come through satanic agents
The Implications of this source
- The devil uses this as a medium to implant sicknesses, diseases and other evil things into a person's life
- The devil uses this as a medium terrorize a person
- Could cause a person to have sexual intercourse unwillingly in their sleep
- The devil uses this as a medium to destroy a person's destiny
3) It could come through God Almighty
The Implications of this source
- It comes with peace & joy. The purpose is to guide and direct your path. Isaiah 30.21
- A medium to warn us of what is to come/impending (future) Gen 41:1-36, Gen 20:1-10
- A medium to tell us about God's promises
- To punish every enemy our soul Matthew 27.19
- A medium to comfort and encourage those that love God
- A medium to avoid the bait of the devil (Matthew 2:13-19)
Key Point
- If you have good dreams, pray it to reality
- You don't have to tell everyone about your dreams cause not everyone that smiles with you wishes you well Gen 37.5
- Don't ignore bad dreams. Pray it doesn't come to reality Isaiah 7.7
